The team's report capped a hectic few hours as reports of Newton's crash in Charlotte, N.C., hit social media. Local reports showed that Newton's car overturned. Other shots taken at the scene showed that Newton was taken from the scene in an ambulance after being placed on a stretcher

Steve Crump of WBTV said Newton did not want to be transported to the hospital but was taken anyway as a precaution.

The Panthers originally said on Tuesday afternoon that Newton was in "fair condition and undergoing tests at Carolinas Medical Center and will remain there overnight for observation." The team later revealed the injury. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo also dealt with transverse process fractures earlier this year.
The Observer said it was a two-car crash on the Church Street bridge in Charlotte over Interstate 277 at about 12:30 p.m. ET. Mark Becker of WSOC 9 in Charlotte said Newton's truck flipped four times, according to witnesses.

The Observer said the other driver, who was driving a Buick sedan, was also taken to the hospital.
Newton, 25, a former Heisman Trophy winner at Auburn, has become one of the NFL's rising stars. He is a two-time Pro Bowl quarterback who won the NFL's offensive rookie of the year award in 2011.

There's also quite a few really bad teams playing other similarly bad teams, but you should watch either way. Let's dive right into what to watch for in Week 13 on Sunday:
Jaguars vs. Browns (1 p.m. ET, CBS)

The first game listed on the schedule may not be the most ... exciting on paper, but there's an awful lot of fail potential, and fail potential is always worth a look. The Jacksonville Jaguars are 2-9 and the Cleveland Browns are 4-7, and neither team is competing for divisional relevance or the playoffs.

Neither has anything to lose, then. The Browns will be without quarterback Jason Campbell, which is significant because he's looked pretty good in recent weeks, which means Brandon Weeden will once again flash his cockroach-ian like ability to never be killed, and will kick off his fourth or fifth separate stint as a starter in two years.

"Can't look away" comes to mind.
Titans vs. Colts (1 p.m., CBS)

The Indianapolis Colts have beat some great teams this year: the San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos among them. They've also been dominated by a total of 78-19 by the Arizona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams in two of their last three games.

Fortunately, the Colts will face the Tennessee Titans, a team they beat in Week 11, though it required a sizable comeback to achieve. You should watch this game, or at least the first half, to see just how poor Andrew Luck can be in one half of football. How bad the Colts have been for the first thirty minutes of a football game cannot be understated.

Also, they're both technically in the playoff running and even in on a playoff spot at the moment.
Bears vs. Vikings (1 p.m., FOX)

The Minnesota Vikings are not a very good team, and head coach Leslie Frazier could be on his way out. Every game could be the game that loses him his job, so that's always worth a look. The Chicago Bears, on the other hand, are fighting for their playoff lives.

Chicago will need to score a victory to keep themselves atop the NFC North on Sunday, with the Green Bay Packers having played the Detroit Lions on Thursday. Jay Cutler likely won't be playing in this one again, but Josh McCown has been solid. The Bears are hoping to get Marc Trestman to the playoffs in his first season as head coach.
Dolphins vs. Jets (1 p.m., CBS)

This matchup actually has divisional relevance. The Miami Dolphins and New York Jets are both 5-6, tied for second place within the division. They're not going to catch the New England Patriots by any means, but either team could be in line for a wildcard spot with how things have looked lately.

Rex Ryan and Joe Philbin could both be on the chopping block. The former because the Jets continue to stumble on the offensive side of the ball and the latter due to the sheer number of issues inside the locker room. Still, both teams have managed to beat very good teams this season, so it could be exciting.
Cardinals vs. Eagles (1 p.m., CBS)

The Arizona Cardinals are literally 7-4. That's not a joke. There's no trickery here. That's their record, and they're tied for second place within the NFC West, and in for a playoff spot at this point. Carson Palmer seems to be hitting his stride on offense and may actually lead the Cardinals to do some damage. Weird.

Nick Foles is the starter for the Philadelphia Eagles. Michael Vick, once again, was injured and Foles earned the starting spot by eviscerating a hapless Oakland Raiders pass defense a couple weeks ago for approximately 300 touchdowns (rounding up). Every time the Cardinals earn another win, we have to point out how crazy is it. Will we be talking about them having eight wins come Monday?
Buccaneers vs. Panthers (1 p.m., FOX)

The Carolina Panthers have won a ridiculous number of games in a row. They've bested both the San Francisco 49ers and the New England Patriots on this current winning streak of seven games. While the offense has been lackluster at times, the defense has shown up big time in each of those wins, not allowing more than 20 points in any given game.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a team almost certain to be looking for a new head coach next season. Greg Schiano's team has been a hot mess, losing the first eight games of the season. Somehow, they've won their last three, though, including a Week 12 upset of the Detroit Lions. This ... could be interesting. Going 8-8 would be legendary at this point.

Before the season, this was pegged as a big game. The Houston Texans had finally cleared that hurdle and were among the NFL's elite over the past couple seasons, but they've hit a very big wall this year. Matt Schaub was replaced with a robot built solely to throw interceptions returned for touchdowns, and the team moved to Case Keenum to take over his spot.

Meanwhile, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots just improbably won 34-31 over the Denver Broncos in Week 12. The Manning-Brady Bowl was slightly more heralded than the Brady-Keenum-Whoever-Takes-Over-For-Keenum Bowl is, but it could be fun to see if the Patriots start resting Brady as early as Week 13.
Falcons vs. Bills (4:05 p.m., FOX)

The Buffalo Bills have won roughly four more games than expected of them this season. They're 4-7, and rookie quarterback E.J. Manuel hasn't been so bad. He's clearly a work in progress, but should have both Stevie Johnson and Robert Woods available to him this week, so that could be big.

Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons were expected to take the NFC South and once again be in contention for the Super Bowl. That has not happened at all, and they're 2-9 on the season. There's no playoff implications in this matchup, just two bad teams trying to be less bad than the other. The Falcons are pretty exciting either way though, for what that's worth.
Rams vs. 49ers (4:05 p.m., FOX)

This is one of two really awesome matchups in the afternoon on Sunday. The St. Louis Rams are 5-6, still in the running for a wildcard spot, while the San Francisco 49ers are 7-4 and hoping to get a leg-up on the aforementioned Cardinals.

The Seattle Seahawks have a stranglehold on the division at this point, but the 49ers recent snapped a losing skid by dominating the Washington Redskins on Monday Night Football. There's also the chance that the 49ers have Michael Crabtree back in the lineup. Meanwhile, Tavon Austin has been nothing short of fantastic in recent weeks. Smart money is on these teams not fighting to another tie this time around.
Broncos vs. Chiefs (4:25 p.m., CBS)

This is the other really solid matchup for the afternoon. The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs are two of the best teams in the NFL. Denver was the team to snap Kansas City's undefeated streak in Week 11, winning 27-17, and the two rivals will once again fight for control of the AFC West on Sunday. Both teams are coming off a loss though, as the Broncos fell to the aforementioned Patriots, while the Chiefs have lost two consecutive games, falling to late-game heroics from Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers in Week 12.
Bengals vs. Chargers (4:25 p.m., CBS)

The San Diego Chargers have been a middling team this season, but they've been able to rattle off some quality wins, and have been exciting to watch. Philip Rivers can almost never be counted out (though you can count him out slightly more than Touchdown Tom, who can never be counted out) and the Chargers are more than capable of a playoff push for a wildcard spot.

But the Cincinnati Bengals stand in their way, at least this week. The Bengals are 7-4 and in control of the AFC North, but it's a close race. They can't afford to fall to teams like the Chargers, not with both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens not too far behind at this point. Still, this one is like to come down to whether or not the No. 6 pass defense and No. 10 rush defense can contain the Chargers for all four quarters.

Sportsbook.com Betting Odds: Minnesota -1.5, Total: 44.5
In what is being dubbed “The Desperation Bowl” two preseason Super Bowl favorites meet with identical 1-3 records. Dallas is coming off a mistake-riddled performance in a loss at home against Tennessee, where it committed three turnovers along with 12 penalties. The Vikings also had three turnovers in their 29-20 loss to the Jets on Monday night. This contest also marks a rematch of last year’s playoff game when Minnesota ended the Cowboys season with a 34-3 thrashing behind 234 yards and four touchdown passes from Brett Favre.
Currently 63% of the NFL betting fans at Sportsbook.com are backing the Vikings.
Tony Romo will not have a lot of time to throw the football with the excellent D-Line of Minnesota. But if he does find time to throw, he could be successful against a Vikings defense missing their best cornerback Cedric Griffin, who suffered a season-ending knee injury against the Jets. The Cowboys running game finally got going last week with Felix Jones rushing for 109 yards on just 15 carries. Dallas coach Wade Phillips said that Jones will start getting many more touches in the upcoming weeks.
Favre has ten turnovers in four games this year, throwing seven picks and losing three fumbles. But the Vikings offense can build upon their second-half uprising against the Jets when Favre threw three touchdowns, including one to newly-acquired Randy Moss. The future Hall-of-Famer has loved facing the Dallas secondary with 11 TD and more than 100 receiving YPG in his seven career games against the Cowboys.
For the football betting crowd, here are a few trends to consider before placing your wagers.
Minnesota is 6-1 (SU & ATS) in its past seven meetings against Dallas.
DALLAS is 4-14 ATS (-11.4 Units) in road games vs. good passing defenses - allowing 5.7 or less passing yards/att. since 1992. The average score was DALLAS 10.5, OPPONENT 20.4 - (Rating = 1*).
For those looking to wager on the over-under, these two trends point towards a low scoring game.
DALLAS is 17-2 UNDER (+14.8 Units) in road games vs. good passing defenses - allowing 5.7 or less passing yards/att. since 1992. The average score was DALLAS 10.5, OPPONENT 20.4 - (Rating = 4*).
Play Under - Road teams against the total (DALLAS) - with a poor defense - allowing 5.4 or more yards/play, after gaining 375 or more total yards in 2 consecutive games. (35-8 over the last 5 seasons.) (81.4%, +26.2 units. Rating = 4*).
